Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the beef chuck roast with the birria spice mix, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Let it marinate for at least an hour, or preferably overnight.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 3 hours until the beef is tender.
Prepare the French fries according to package instructions or fry fresh-cut fries until crispy.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot, mixing it with the cooking liquid.
Assemble the dish by placing crispy fries on a platter, topping with shredded beef, and sprinkling cheese on top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
This dish is best enjoyed immediately while the fries are hot and crispy. You can customize it with different meats or toppings as desired.
